They are already accustomed to the physical climate, environment, and political situation. These missionaries live and minister on a fraction of the resources because their standard of living is comparable to those they serve. They also already know the language, people, and culture and can begin work with minimal training and preparation. They are more committed to working long-term because they already know and love the people; their own family, friends, and neighbors. These missionaries preach the Gospel, plant churches, care for children; found: schools, medical clinics, and Bible colleges to train others.<span class="s1"></span></span></p><p><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit;">ANM has over 27,000+ missionaries, church planters, trainers, and workers working in 121 countries around the world with 49,000 + churches planted. Some of these countries that these native missionaries serve are closed to Western missionaries. This is the only way to get the message of The Lord out to them.<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Through the <a href="https://bit.ly/ANMCatalogBlg" rel="nofollow" style="color: #2288bb; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Advancing Native Missions Gift Catalog</a> you can help these native missionaries with gifts and donations to them and the people they serve so that they may live in better circumstances.

Caitlin Blythe, the owner and founder of </span><a href="https://waypointgoods.com/" rel="nofollow" style="font-size: 16px;" target="_blank">Waypoint Goods</a><span style="font-size: 16px;">, made the perfect travel fashion accessory to do just that and more! Besides being fashionable, this infinity scarf has a handy, inconspicuous, and unseen zipper pocket that has room enough for an iPhone+ or similar sized cell phone, passport, wallet, keys, some cash, ID, credit cards, boarding passes, facemask, hand sanitizer, sunglasses, and/or other small essentials. This means you can keep your belongings safe and secure without having to take a bulky purse or backpack with you at all times. No more worrying about pickpockets while you are taking in the culture, food, art, sights, and sounds of your next adventure because the hidden pocket </span>blends into the wide folds of the scarf eliminating the outline of your secure essentials. Just place the pocket loop closest to your body and use the other loop to drape over the top and hide the pocket and contents.</div><div><br /></div><div>I received a Waypoint Goods Travel Scarf from the Featured Artist Series and called Jasmine & Jain. It is one of the lightweight scarves made from all natural bamboo and cotton. This pattern was made by two women, Alison Abbott and Jane, and was inspired by the flower market in Jaipur, India and the local people there, wearing colorful geometric patterns. Marigolds, rose petals and the scent of jasmine made the painted and layered canvas spring to life. The scarf's pattern is a result of an adaption of the full canvas. I love this gorgeous scarf! The oranges, reds and purples with the layered pattern are so rich and beautiful. You can read more about the art process, <a href="https://waypointgoods.com/collections/featured-artist-alison-jane" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>. 1% of sales of the Jasmine & Jain scarf will be donated to the nonprofit organization, CharityWater.org.</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSNDJ9AHJRXXyIj6Qi6jKHDDLwQyv3hlUYkLmGAFQHdFNrngPYfvTazyapM1inb45umAv6KDv6_NMa6mpk38gOGq3wjjGTppW17p0NCD1iFq5sf0U-mWnYeH7FDGV3vln0Oq4XhUgEd6WusLPYhcjvupX3VeqBqd5qbTrX1q0_fawnljSo6tjEEgaJdms/s693/WaypointGoodsTravelScarfJasmine&JainDetails.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="693" data-original-width="679" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSNDJ9AHJRXXyIj6Qi6jKHDDLwQyv3hlUYkLmGAFQHdFNrngPYfvTazyapM1inb45umAv6KDv6_NMa6mpk38gOGq3wjjGTppW17p0NCD1iFq5sf0U-mWnYeH7FDGV3vln0Oq4XhUgEd6WusLPYhcjvupX3VeqBqd5qbTrX1q0_fawnljSo6tjEEgaJdms/w628-h640/WaypointGoodsTravelScarfJasmine&JainDetails.jpg" width="628" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div>I love that the Waypoint Goods scarves are made of quality fabric and notions that is sewn well. The fabric is soft, yet durable and is meticulously stitched with a lined pocket that has an invisible zipper. The pocket is lined in Waypoint Goods patterned fabric that complements the outer fabric and is lighter in color so you can find your stuff fast.</div><div><br /></div><div>There are two different categories of travel scarf depending upon length and fabric choice and each have 5 lovely designs per category. One category is the lightweight bamboo and cotton travel scarf which is long and narrow and great for warmer weather and petite travelers. The lightweight scarves are 18" wide by 34" long and made of eco-friendly 70% bamboo and 30% cotton. The other category is the original travel scarf which is wide and short and is best for cooler weather and wrapping up. The original is 22" wide by 32" long and is made of buttery soft 100% polyester.</div><div><br /></div><div>I love how versatile this travel infinity scarf is, that you can pretty much wear it anywhere, and it is easy to clean. It can be used as a scarf, shawl, blanket and worn several different ways. You can take it with you on an airplane, train, bus, boat, etc. It is great to have at crowded tourist areas, stadiums, museums, concerts, festivals, date night, out walking the dog, etc. If you don't have other pockets in your dress, jeans or jacket, this scarf is the key to that problem! Washing instructions are pretty straight forward: hand wash cold with mild detergent and lay flat to dry. If you cannot wash the recommended way you can instead machine wash on delicate cycle after placing in a garment bag and then lay flat to dry.</div><div><br /></div><div><b style="color: #222222; font-family: Molengo; font-size: 17.6px;">BUY IT</b></div><div><br /></div><div>Any of the <a href="https://waypointgoods.com/pages/travel-scarf-collections" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Waypoint Travel Scarves</a> would be perfect for gift giving!

After a long car ride 🚘 all the way from California (about 10 hours there to get her and 10 hours back) to Oregon she is finally home for Christmas 🎄. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm2cX7ob_2JfXzzovshVErAXBlRfBYOVX7OFHqgqUp-LP_yAklWCkwCzkLVExet-MZ27XrZPY8xApxn35aXauiJV0fxod_w0Pg782cwa8MCgHZdZchkiDGRHLh1tc0cTKc34H5mcmOVtDUcSTsJT-1lNFVBYWUBXtxgHcBupExKHYKTpOLwhwfK0RV/s720/download%20(1).jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="686" data-original-width="720" height="610" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm2cX7ob_2JfXzzovshVErAXBlRfBYOVX7OFHqgqUp-LP_yAklWCkwCzkLVExet-MZ27XrZPY8xApxn35aXauiJV0fxod_w0Pg782cwa8MCgHZdZchkiDGRHLh1tc0cTKc34H5mcmOVtDUcSTsJT-1lNFVBYWUBXtxgHcBupExKHYKTpOLwhwfK0RV/w640-h610/download%20(1).jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Nova at the shelter.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div><br /></div><div>Within minutes of arriving last night we found out she likes to bolt out doors and chase cars

Ameo Life health products are just that and they are also a company with Christian values. I love how they stand strong in their faith and believe that the human body is a miracle of divine creation and that our planet earth provides the ability to promote healing with natural supplementation and elements. They share this belief with me.</p><p>I received 4 Ameo Life products to try out: pH Balanced Alkaline Structured Silver Solution, Extra Strength Silver Gel, Organic Silver Soap, and a bottle of their Chelated Multivitamins. I love that I got to try out different Ameo Life products and not just one thing. </p><p>The pH Balanced Alkaline Structured Silver Solution is a liquid supplement that adults can take 2 tsp of twice daily and children 4 years and older can take 1/2 tsp twice daily. It doesn't really taste like anything and doesn't have a smell. You can use this both for external skin use and internally as a supplement. I have also been using it on my tooth brush and notice a difference. My gums feel better and so does my gut. </p><p>The Extra Strength Silver Gel is Ameo Life's strongest silver gel they offer. It is for external use only and is great for your skin. It comes in a pump and its directions say to apply generously to skin as needed to promote healthy skin. I love to use it on my face as a cleanser. My skin is so dry with this summer heat and this gel is cold and refreshing. My skin soaks it up and feels fresh and rejuvenated. I find that it speeds healing too. I noticed my blemishes disappearing and it is great to quickly heal cuts, burns, rashes, and bug bites/stings too. I have super sensitive skin and this was delicate with no added dyes or perfumes and didn't make me break out like other things.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgku0pzj6G-9vpLuPiwWb0tkaMYK9TtINIr43nR9ZOCefMZPQjWCBBnIlXaMATxMSrH5h3_GlrUBIERv7aCvDWBBuMdByHuauZvNB8u2Q0_gf1Mj6GnOmk7kth8awDB101IO7MGPH8zwOUn1sTVbZCgZE5hUdx5PzjdPNrMlkjeYkedwoAE6rNe-HAz/s5120/AmeoLifeCharcoalTeaTreeSilverSoap.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5120" data-original-width="3072" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgku0pzj6G-9vpLuPiwWb0tkaMYK9TtINIr43nR9ZOCefMZPQjWCBBnIlXaMATxMSrH5h3_GlrUBIERv7aCvDWBBuMdByHuauZvNB8u2Q0_gf1Mj6GnOmk7kth8awDB101IO7MGPH8zwOUn1sTVbZCgZE5hUdx5PzjdPNrMlkjeYkedwoAE6rNe-HAz/w384-h640/AmeoLifeCharcoalTeaTreeSilverSoap.jpg" width="384" /></a></div><br /><p>Ameo Life has 5 different Silver Soaps to choose from. They have Lavender, Charcoal Tea Tree, Lemongrass, Oatmeal Spice, and Peppermint. These bar soaps are all natural, silver infused, and made with organic ingredients. These are great for all skin types and are toxin and paraben free. I received their Charcoal Tea Tree Silver Soap. This soap has orange, tea tree, and bergamot essential oils which make it have a light, pleasant smell. It is a black bar because of the activated charcoal which helps clean the skin, unclog pores, remove oils and impurities, and slough dead skin cells. It also has coconut oil and cacao butter which help moisturize and soften the skin. Plantain leaves from the Broadleaf Plantain have been added because of its healing properties, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects, and vitamins A, C, and K. Cacao is added for its antioxidants and nutrients and Rosemary extract for its stimulating and astringent effect on the skin, as well as its ability to decongest oily skin. I love this soap! It leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP_myrfRMu87yYhWR4x_uS9U9YDDCufX4TADLAV_Ws4h2gKsebbH6MNdEuM4E-EjPI2Jnx5VjJXODjIcuKITarsf0dQN0jT6Mn5DE0Mj21HU-afjUpNk125v45Ks5kU4WxqTg4Blb4bkevLBH3wzjUAcvDNPb5FRVXUln1owEeZCVzrtRa1btNkNJF/s644/AmeoLifeMultivitaminSupplementFacts.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="635" data-original-width="644" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP_myrfRMu87yYhWR4x_uS9U9YDDCufX4TADLAV_Ws4h2gKsebbH6MNdEuM4E-EjPI2Jnx5VjJXODjIcuKITarsf0dQN0jT6Mn5DE0Mj21HU-afjUpNk125v45Ks5kU4WxqTg4Blb4bkevLBH3wzjUAcvDNPb5FRVXUln1owEeZCVzrtRa1btNkNJF/s16000/AmeoLifeMultivitaminSupplementFacts.png" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>The Chelated Multivitamin is an adult daily multivitamin with 18 essential vitamins and minerals. Recommended use is to take 2 cellulose capsules per day with food. They are gluten-friendly and vegan. Chelated means that it has improved absorption and availability for the human body. The added methylated folate, a biologically active form of the B9 vitamin folate, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-methylfolate), is a bonus because it helps with depression and other mental health issues and is better for us than the synthetic form, folic acid. It is rich in antioxidants like Vitamin C, E, and Alpha Lipoic Acid. I can take these with my iron pills since they don't contain iron. These have a "full complex of B vitamins", meaning 8 different kinds: B1 (thiamin), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine), B7 (biotin), B9 (folate), and B12 (cobalamin); to help with stress, and to support brain function as well as nervous system and reproductive health. I have noticed a significant boost in energy, mood, and stamina while taking them.</p><p><b>BUY IT</b></p><p>Purchase the Ameo Life Health Products <a href="https://bit.ly/3zWgn8Z" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p><b>WIN IT</b><br /></p><ul><li><i>Prize:</i> Win 4 full sized Ameo Life products!<br /></li><li><i>Host:</i> Ameo Life and its subsidiaries and FrontGate Media.</li><li><i>Who Can Enter:</i> Open to US residents 18 years or older.</li><li><i>Selection Process:</i>1 Winner will be selected on 8/25/2022 and notified by email at which time they will ask for your address.

Even though I didn't get the cover I wanted this bible has a very nice brown imitation leather cover. It came in a sturdy box that protected it from getting damaged in shipping and also keeps it neatly tucked away in after being read, so that it stays nice. I like that it also goes through the features inside the bible on the first page and also has a inscription page in case you are gifting this bible to a friend or family member. I also love that it has "how to use this bible" explanation pages and an introduction of the NET if you are not really familiar with it. It also has a 365-Day Bible-Reading Plan in color to follow in your reading. My absolute favorite aspect of this bible is the Engage Through Art pages. These have full color pictures of art pertaining to the scriptures you have read and a description of the art piece to go with it. I also love all the other prompts and there are so many different ones to delve deeper in the Word of the Lord. I love that this bible is basically a devotional in a bible.

The theme of this box is Camp Compassion. It goes through 4 lessons, one for each week of the month of June: Compassion for the Hungry, Compassion for the Sick, Compassion for the Needy, and Compassion for the World. Each lesson has scriptures and crafts or activities that go along with the lesson.</div><div><br /></div><div>I love that there is a guide to show the parents what to do and that it goes through step-by-step what you need to do with your child. My favorite activity in this box was a baking activity where you get to bake a loaf of bread with your child after they decorate a bread napkin themselves. I love that the bread napkin is made of reusable cloth that the loaf can be wrapped in and becomes unique once decorated by the child. After they make the loaf and napkin, they give the wrapped loaf away to someone that might need it. I love this lesson and humble act that teaches compassion and sacrifice.</div><div><div><br /></div><div>Make sure you look over what is needed for each project before hand so you will not be missing an item when you go and do the project. Some things you will have to acquire or have on hand at home. The bread ingredients were not in the box, just the recipe. There is also a blanket activity which only includes 4 squares of fleece like material that the child ties together. It suggests that you could make it a larger blanket if you had more of the same kind of fabric to add to it to make more squares. When I opened the box up I noticed that the items were mostly loose in the box, but I inventoried and found that everything was there. I do appreciate that they are probably trying to limit plastic. They seem to have just enough of the material that they provided to create the crafts successfully with anything that you do need at home listed so that you will know what you will need if it is not provided in the box.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>BUY IT</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div>Purchase <a href="https://bit.ly/3sdfapK" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Kids Faith Krate</a> starting at $28.99 a month up to $43.99 depending if you chose a 1 child plan or 3 additional children.

This is a Homeschool Review Crew Review. All opinions expressed are my own or those of my family.</p><p>Creating A Masterpiece is founded by Sharon Hofer. Sharon traveled all over the world to study art under some of the finest artists of our time at world-renowned art institutes and studios for the past three decades. She learned that anyone can create a masterpiece and started this online art instruction that teaches aspiring artists step-by-step at their own pace to create beautiful art.</p><p> </p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2NSmEsJGw-46fEfKmLzP5E7edQO6OBnQEtcAsgvJcKWvuXqnKV8cY2P29vNER88nItRYvhHn42XM6O3HqFOo9_aU8yRyIKAV_hqwx5UDTUlaseXGFZB6pBElRrHVfimm9_M9SeyjjLgE/s1248/SharonHoferCreatingAMasterpiece.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1041" data-original-width="1248" height="534" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2NSmEsJGw-46fEfKmLzP5E7edQO6OBnQEtcAsgvJcKWvuXqnKV8cY2P29vNER88nItRYvhHn42XM6O3HqFOo9_aU8yRyIKAV_hqwx5UDTUlaseXGFZB6pBElRrHVfimm9_M9SeyjjLgE/w640-h534/SharonHoferCreatingAMasterpiece.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Sharon Hofer of Creating a Masterpiece.<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>The Art History Program is part of the Creating A Masterpiece line of award-winning art curriculum. These lessons will have you learning the same techniques as the art masters through video lessons taught by Sharon Hofer. This program is a great addition to art history studies. Instead of just reading about the great masters of art, you can recreate their masterpieces too! Your student will learn how to recognize and create period specific art styles and master art skills needed to make masterpieces. They will also learn how to use different art media, for example: sculpture, colored marker, fresco, printmaking, acrylics, mosaic, egg tempera, glass etching, etc. The program comes with art supply lists for each project that are set up so that you can purchase all that is needed on Dick Blick, a wonderful art supplier.<br /></p><p><b> </b></p><p><b>This program features:</b></p><ol><li>Styles of Art in History: In these projects students learn how to create fine art that mimic art styles from different periods of the past. For example: Romanticism, Realism, Cubism, etc. Recommended for ages 5 and up.</li><li>Historically Themed Projects: These projects can add art to your study of history. For example: a ship in a lagoon representing the Spanish Exploration or a Native American Chief representing life in Early America. Recommended for ages 6 and up.</li><li>Exploring the Art of Yesterday: In this project the student will learn to recreate an art piece from Ivan Aivazovsky. Recommended for ages 13 and up. This is a more difficult project.</li><li>Capstone Project. These projects are meant to teach the student how to recreate historic masterpieces.

The art was accessed by logging in and clicking STUDIO in the top right corner. Then we scrolled down to the bottom sections because that is where the Art History Programs were located.</span><br /></p><p>We chose three different art pieces to do for this review from The Art History Program of Creating a Masterpiece. The first was the Expressionism Period: The Zebra (Acrylic Painting) from the Styles of Art in History section. This project I will go into more detail than the others and show pictures. We also did the <span class="fl-heading-text">Ancient Egypt: Egyptian Nomads</span><span class="fl-heading-text"> and the </span>Revolutionary War: The Cannon (Ink) <span class="fl-heading-text">from the </span><span class="fl-heading-text">Historically Themed Projects section. </span></p><p><span class="fl-heading-text"></span><span class="fl-heading-text"><span class="fl-heading-text"><span class="fl-heading-text">I wish each art project would have the level clearly stated according to difficulty.

Just click the "View Supply List" button to see the art supply list. This list shows you what art supplies you will need for the individual project and helps you determine quantity depending upon how many students you have doing the same project. There is also a purchase list of the same supplies provided by Creating A Masterpiece in Dick Blick. You can view this list by clicking the "Purchase Supplies" button. </span><span class="fl-heading-text"><span class="fl-heading-text">If you already have the art supply at home or need more of the item you can easily adjust the quantity of each item and then add the items you do need to your cart to purchase. </span></span><span class="fl-heading-text"><span class="fl-heading-text"><span class="fl-heading-text">You can buy supplies from the provided Dick Blick list or buy them elsewhere if you find them cheaper or want to buy locally.</span><span class="fl-heading-text"><span class="fl-heading-text"> </span></span> I would also suggest watching the first or second video in each project so you know if you need to buy supplies or can use what you have at home. The art supplies listed are highly recommended as they are the best choice for getting the finest results for the art taught.

There are 5 lessons for this project and within each lesson there are two to three sections each in video format so the lessons are broken up and not too long and you can follow along better. The painting style I learned was from the Expressionism Period. I learned that in the Expressionism Period they used color to express emotion. I finished my zebra painting by signing my signature Fina🌙 in the corner.

This project used ink in an interesting way, like watercolor. Before doing the project we purchased these supplies through Blick as well. The supplies included a Bristol paper pad, a red sharpie twin tip marker, a Tombow dual brush pen, a size 14 flat brush, and a size 0 round brush.

<br />
Home School in the Woods is a family run business that creates Christian
based history curriculum for homeschooling. This curriculum immerses
your student in the topic. It is very hands-on with lapbooks, timelines,
recipes, art, creative writing, notebook projects, dramatized audio
theater, maps, crafts, projects, re-enactments, file-folder games,
vocabulary to learn, etc.<br />
<br />
The Time Traveler American History Studies are a seven part series that
starts with the New World Explorers and concludes at the end of World
War II. These are recommended for grades 3-8. There are two different
versions you can purchase, a CD version or a digital download version.
With the CD version everything that you access and print is on the CD.
With the digital download version you download a zipped file, place all
of the contents into a folder on your computer, and access it by the
start.htm file that is in that folder. We received the digital download
version.</p><p> </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoreQbpmczswt5OD7NMdq8P4rLz2nv4TLwMDIUTc9UFJnewZ-QELUz0jR-jiG-Y2zv-YrVg_qJH9zH10BS1dnKNFMrFnIju4Zjv_m6-67BYwgZOO_U-cDFijDwJpE5ikvvzxQvO4jIjf8/s2508/HomeSchoolintheWoodsNewWorldExplorersMainMenu%2526Lessons.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2508" data-original-width="1254" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoreQbpmczswt5OD7NMdq8P4rLz2nv4TLwMDIUTc9UFJnewZ-QELUz0jR-jiG-Y2zv-YrVg_qJH9zH10BS1dnKNFMrFnIju4Zjv_m6-67BYwgZOO_U-cDFijDwJpE5ikvvzxQvO4jIjf8/w320-h640/HomeSchoolintheWoodsNewWorldExplorersMainMenu%2526Lessons.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Left: Main Menu, Right: Lessons 1-5<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>We found that there was a lot of preparation that needed to happen
before getting started. There is a lot of things needing printed, items
needing prepared for crafts and other projects, and general preparation
of materials before one can begin the travel. The Beginning of the main
menu includes: <i>Acknowledgements / Copyrights and Usage / Bibliography</i>, <i>Introduction</i>, <i>Tips to Consider Before Starting...</i>, and <i>Teacher Helps</i> which gives you a great foundation. <i>Teacher Helps</i> guides you with preparation and organization, gives you a <i>Lesson Planner</i> schedule to help you see an overview of the things being taught and <i>Additional Resources</i> to pull from. It also includes the printables for the <i>3-Ring Binder Covers</i> and the <i>Teacher Keys</i> for the timeline. <br /></p><p>
<br />
Each study has twenty-five lessons and is supposed to last roughly 5-10
weeks depending upon how quickly everything is completed. These lessons
have reading <i>Text Pages</i> and an activity that go with them. <i>Project Pages</i>
accompany these to give directions, list of supplies needed, printing
instructions, and illustrations for each project and activity. <i>Masters</i> are provided for all printables.<br />
<br />
In the <i>Other Resources</i> section at the end of the main menu there
are some visuals and directions to help you with the projects,
activities, and lapbook. These include: <i>All Master Pages</i> in numerical order, A <i>Gallery of Project Photos</i> (final photos of what projects should look like at the end), and <i>Lap Book Instructions</i>.
You can also have your student catch up with the five Project Days that
are included in the schedule. The student will compile a lapbook in the
24th lesson. This lapbook is pieced together throughout the studies.
The final lesson is a party with a theme that goes along with the series
to celebrate the end of the study. These are very flexible and you can
pick and choose what projects work best for your family.<br />
<br />

</p><ul><li>Working Printer</li><li>Color and Black Ink for the printer to cover all the printing that will be happening</li><li>White and Colored Printer Paper</li><li>White and Colored Cardstock (this is best, but admittedly we didn't

I enlisted my daughter Zari, who was in 4th grade this past school year, to learn about New World Explorers. She has loved doing
Home School in the Woods in the past. This is supposed to be for 3rd through 8th
graders so most of the projects she did very well on. She did need my
help with some of the more advanced projects and writing assignments and
it took her a lot longer to get through some of the written assignments
than it might have taken for my older kids. I learned quite a bit too
while helping her with this study.</p><p>We have been learning about an explorer and ship that is tied to the
history out here. The Columbia Rediviva was under the command of John

This ship is said to have been the model for the local high school being "The Columbians".

This is all about early U.S.
History. It is about the explorers that discovered the new world. In the weeks we had before this review we learned
about explorers, their life, and ships, etc. There are
creative writing, recipes of the era, notebook timeline,
factfile cards, file folder games, penmanship pages, notebooking
activities, three-dimensional projects, arts and crafts, lapbooking, and
a Exploration Celebration to bring the whole unit to a close. We still have
not gotten through all the lessons, but we have enjoyed everything that
we have done thus far.</p><p> </p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCLxGDouNYG1pdC3xVewimMtXlFHfmb-QyaEuGVbZc6Ripm7CRAPzqmvbvbzI111mEj3_U8HGdsLtfyu4KBjPOYSHcEd0m0lLc1ooS0I-J4XzGxq9Ku615alXWNKyzZoes6WBEkEvzdwU/s2048/HomeSchoolintheWoodsNewWorldExplorersShipAnatomy.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCLxGDouNYG1pdC3xVewimMtXlFHfmb-QyaEuGVbZc6Ripm7CRAPzqmvbvbzI111mEj3_U8HGdsLtfyu4KBjPOYSHcEd0m0lLc1ooS0I-J4XzGxq9Ku615alXWNKyzZoes6WBEkEvzdwU/w480-h640/HomeSchoolintheWoodsNewWorldExplorersShipAnatomy.jpg" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Zari coloring the ship and learning about ship's anatomy.<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br />
This was differently laid out than the Project Passports I was used to.
There were no stops or pretending to be on a trip and these did not have
any audio files to listen to. Like Project Passport though, the
instructions are not hard, but there is a lot of things to set up and
print out initially and throughout the program....so be aware of that
and set some time aside to begin with to get things done so you are not
overwhelmed.<p>Zari really liked our project time together the most. She loves art and
making things. She especially loved tying nautical knots, making dried apples, making flags, learning about the ship's anatomy, making and drinking lime juice, and singing sea shanties. We can't wait to make the ship out of a large box that we acquired, dress
up like pirates or seaman, find constellations in the night sky for navigation, making navigational tools, and make some of the
recipes, etc. We are learning a lot and are
enjoying every moment. These are so much fun!<br />

This is great for anyone
homeschooling who might need some help with teaching about explorers in the new world in a
highly educational, fun, and very hands-on way. This is a
great stand-alone unit study or can be used to supplement something
already being taught. This would also be perfect for those wanting
something fun to do with their kids in the summer time. I am looking
forward to reviewing more from Home School in the Woods in the future
and learning more about United States history with this study<b>!</b></p><p><b> </b> </p>

Each card set has 31 cards with original watercolor artwork by Emily Lex and a scripture verse. These are 4" x 4" cards made out of 120lb cotton texture eggshell paper. There are also two different types of holders for the cards to sit in: brass and gold card stand. They are both sold separately from the cards. We received brass card holder. It is solid brass with a brushed finish. Emily Lex has three courses you can take: Simplified Penmanship, Simplified Watercolor, and Watercolor for Kids. These classes are online and you can watch them on any device. After purchase you get instant unlimited access to the video course chosen. You can work at your own pace and can pause and replay any lesson at your leisure. Each course has 8-10 video lessons. Supply lists, project templates, and guides are included. Simplified Penmanship is a course to learn better handwriting skills. You can use this to write notes, letters, address envelopes, create artwork, write on a chalkboard, and write legibly and beautifully. Simplified Watercolor is a course that teaches watercolor basics and then helps you create lovely watercolor paintings that you can be proud to display. Watercolor for Kids is a course for kids of all ages. These lessons will teach your young aspiring artist techniques for mixing paint, caring for a brush, and stroke-making, then practice making fun watercolor art cute enough to proudly display.</span></span></p><p></p><p><span><span><b><b><b> </b></b></b></span></span></p><p><span><span><b><b><b>My Thoughts:</b></b></b></span></span></p><p><span><span>I have not done very much watercolor painting on my own, except for the "Paint With Water" books I did as a child. These were fun, but did not really teach me the fundamentals of how to paint with watercolor. I have always wanted to learn those basics, but never took the time or had the chance. When I received the opportunity of reviewing the Emily Lex Watercolor Package and Classes I jumped at the chance. </span></span></p><p><span><span>I first received the package of watercolor goodies in the mail and opened it up. There were so many fantastic things inside. I cannot wait to thoroughly dive into everything offered.<br /></span></span></p><p><span><span>I looked through the watercolor booklets and am very excited especially to do the whale in the animals workbook and the sunflower in the flowers workbook...2 of my favorite things! There are so many other pages that look like fun also! The instructions on the reference pages look fairly simple to follow and you can paint directly onto the page with the outlined sketch, so no need for buying a watercolor pad of paper. The sketch makes it very easy to know the outline of the painting and you do not need to know how to draw to do these. There are also blank pages to practice what you have learned with watercolor or just do your own thing. I also love that they are perfect for taking with you on trips or outdoors when the weather is nice and they don't need any screen time to do.<br /></span></span></p><p><span><span>The Truth for Today and Kids Truth for Today cards are just lovely. I love the illustrations from Emily Lex and bible verses on each one. These are gentle reminders of scripture truths. They are a wonderful way to start the morning with and would be great as gifts for someone that needs uplifting. Both sets of cards are great for anyone, regardless of age.</span></span></p><p><span><span>I love how the Truth for Today cards can be displayed in the brass holder that we also received. Make sure to place the cards in it the correct way so that the card angles slightly back not forward this way you can read the bible chapter and verse number. This sleek and stylish brass holder can also hold other things as well...like a recipe card.</span></span></p><p></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3wluwPjJFF3ouMa1fqb1KkrBhFyJzehQ2SqBN-AAz5kQvkwy51ccrsQ3lF28HJP6MLWxt1ToVNLbtApoMvOLbDBpKJdrJzVYLLzhrGZ-F6YrZeRvwJCVE-pOfyPLJ_PGr5DFlyWPqGd8/s2048/EmilyLexSimplifiedWatercolorClassLessons1-6.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3wluwPjJFF3ouMa1fqb1KkrBhFyJzehQ2SqBN-AAz5kQvkwy51ccrsQ3lF28HJP6MLWxt1ToVNLbtApoMvOLbDBpKJdrJzVYLLzhrGZ-F6YrZeRvwJCVE-pOfyPLJ_PGr5DFlyWPqGd8/w640-h480/EmilyLexSimplifiedWatercolorClassLessons1-6.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Here are my finished art from some of the Emily Lex Simplified Watercolor lessons.<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p><span><span>There were three different courses that we were also given: <span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Simplified Penmanship, Simplified Watercolor, and Watercolor for Kids. I have been doing the </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Simplified Watercolor class. It is a great step-by-step watercolor class for a beginner like me or artists who would like the practice. You can go at your own pace watching the videos, pause at anytime, go back if you missed something, and skip over the parts you already know if you want. In this she begins describing the supplies. I only had a cheap set of crayola watercolors, a nice paintbrush set I got as a gift, and a watercolor pad from my kids using our watercolor crayon set. She said that using the cheap paints would be fine, but as you get better with the art then you might want to purchase a better set and she listed a few. She went over some techniques in the third and forth lessons and then we started painting actual pictures of things. There are also bonus lessons at the end as well. I loved how it also checked off the lessons I had done so that I would know where I was the next time I logged in. I could also still go back through the finished lessons if I needed to. I loved painting the Seascape the most so far, but the Dot Project was fun too. I know that my kids are going to enjoy the Watercolor for Kids class. I looked it over and I might even do the lessons right along with them. The Simplified Penmanship class is going to be very good for me. My penmanship is not too bad, but I would love to do better with my writing and learn some fancy lettering too. I cannot wait to get all the way through these. I have learned so much already and there is so much more to go.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>I highly recommend all that Emily Lex has to offer.

YWAM (YOUTH WITH A MISSION) Publishing is a nonprofit organization that produces and distributes books that help Christians make a difference in the world by giving a portion of every dollar spent to buy books through YWAM Publishing to children and adults in other countries that are in need. Their books focus on evangelism, educational training, prayer, discipleship, and mercy ministries.<br />
<br />
YWAM Publishing has two popular book series; one called <b>Heroes of History</b> and the other called <b>Christian Heroes: Then & Now</b>; in which true stories are told of real people that lived in our history. In the Heroes of History series we learn about great men and woman who changed the course of history. In the Christian Heroes: Then & Now series we learn about ordinary people who have put their trust in God and in doing so accomplish extraordinary things. Both of these book series help us as: parents, teachers, and caretakers; give our children wholesome biographies to read or be read to that teach good character traits, values, and virtues.</p><p> </p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR2b1eBy6lGRobpweW5FDhw-XpHtw4HfTgD1wJRy-Q1rtHsKwIJRw7Gh4HADvKCHJDC4NoTJE0n8bfP-CU1-lOm15CbPyM4YvgXmDLFHop8ytUkFUlXKwPzQk8CqRU0FWu0WbYYlfKlTc/s475/YWAMPublishingHeroesofHistoryGeorgeWashingtonCarver.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="475" data-original-width="312" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR2b1eBy6lGRobpweW5FDhw-XpHtw4HfTgD1wJRy-Q1rtHsKwIJRw7Gh4HADvKCHJDC4NoTJE0n8bfP-CU1-lOm15CbPyM4YvgXmDLFHop8ytUkFUlXKwPzQk8CqRU0FWu0WbYYlfKlTc/s16000/YWAMPublishingHeroesofHistoryGeorgeWashingtonCarver.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">George Washington Carver: From Slave to Scientist</td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>George Washington Carver: From Slave to Scientist by Janet & Geoff Benge is part of a series of 29 biography books called Heroes of History by YWAM Publishing.

<p>The <a href="http://www.ywampublishing.com/c-108-downloadable-unit-studies-curriculum-guides.aspx" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Unit Study Curriculum Guide</a> that is paired with the George Washington Carver: From Slave to Scientist book that I received was in the digital downloadable format and opened as an executable file. The digital version is downloadable in a zipped format, so you will have to unzip before you use it. After selecting where it will go on your computer, unzip it, and find the folder it placed it all into. Find the file version you need: __MACOSX for Macintosh and the other for PC. Click on the file that has START HERE in its title and it will open in a new window in your browser. You can then read a very short synopsis of the biography under the George Washington Carver tab, download the unit study under the Unit Study tab, etc.<br />
<br />
The Unit Study downloads in PDF format. It also has a 25 page guide for classroom and homeschool as well as a 12 page guide for a small group that tells you how to best use the unit study. This shows how flexible you can be with the unit study. You can do the whole study or just parts of it. It is all up to you how you use it. The unit study goes in depth to help you go above and beyond the book and explore other areas that pertain to the material like: crafts, cooking, art, and writing assignments; has questions to ask your children to see if they comprehended the reading, and quotes to use as copywork to enhance handwriting or memorization. The unit study is broken into two parts.<br />
<br />

<br />
My 11 year old daughter Zari and my 13 year old daughter Teela read the book. Both have been doing the study guide with me. We learned more about George Washington Carver's life from reading this book than any textbook we had read or movie we had watched previously. It was quite refreshing to learn more about this important man.<br />
<br />
After each chapter Zari and I did the first three questions from the study guide which are geared toward the younger students. They include a vocabulary question, a factual question coming from the reading, and the first comprehension question. The study guide is geared toward ages 10+. Zari and I would look up the words in a dictionary and thesaurus as well, for more understanding. My daughter, Teela, had no problem with the reading and vocabulary, but that is because she is a voracious reader. I had Teela do all of the chapter questions. Besides the chapter questions I had Zari do copywork from the key quotes and I had Teela memorize them and say them back to me. I will have Teela do an essay as suggested in the study guide under the student explorations and essays. She will also be doing some creative writing.<br />
<br />We also tried to go to the websites in the books and resources section of the study guide to learn more about George Washington Carver, but most of them were unfortunately broken. We looked up our own and found some pictures of his paintings of flowers and explored the George Washington Carver National Monument Park in Missouri by virtual tour and multimedia. We didn't know he was an artist as well as a botanist and inventor until this study. He was a very well accomplished man.<br />
<br />
There was so much to learn and explore in this unit study. We were amazed at the very complexity of it all. We are going to check out some more books and biographies that they recommend in the study guide later. We didn't even begin to scratch the surface and were still very engaged in this lengthy unit study. This would be a great study to incorporate for Black History Month.<br />
<br />
The YWAM Publishing biographies are historical and true. These true stories along with the unit studies are great for homeschooling families. We hope to get to read about Theodore Roosevelt next in their extensive biography list. I highly recommend these!<br />

My family had the privilege of trying <a href="https://figuresinmotion.com/shop/famous-figures-ancient-times/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Famous Figures of Ancient Times</a> from <a href="https://figuresinmotion.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Figures In Motion</a> for this review to use in conjunction with our own curriculum at home. This is a Homeschool Review Crew Review. All opinions expressed are my own or those of my family.</p><p></p>
<p>Figures In Motion was created by Cathy Diez-Luckie an award-winning illustrator and homeschooler. One Thanksgiving she came up with the idea of making articulated puppets for her children of Pilgrims. Her children loved them so much she decided to make more historical figures and the company was born. Now Figures In Motion has 8 books dedicated to movable paper figures throughout history, including a book on dinosaurs! They also have 6 different coloring eBooks as well. </p><p>The Figures In Motion paper puppets for kids consumable books make up different time periods. They have Famous Figures of Ancient Times, Famous Figures of Medieval Times, Famous Figures of the Middle Ages & Renaissance, Famous Figures of the Early Modern Era, Famous Figures of the American Revolution, Famous Figures of the Civil War, Footsteps in Faith Queen Esther, and Dinosaurs on the Move. Each book is softcover with perforated pages to tear out for easy access to each paper doll. The pages are made of card stock material. In the front of the books are short descriptions of each historical figure. Then it has a reading list for each paper puppet to further learning. Each historical figure has a full color version and a black and white lined version to color. The costume illustrations are historically accurate. On the back of each paper puppet's articulated pieces are how they are put together with the help of a letter key. After they are cut out, these pieces are hole punched with a ⅛" hole punch where indicated and put together with mini brads so that they are moveable at the joints. You may purchase the hole punch and brads separately at most craft stores (Hobby Lobby, Michaels, etc.) or on the Figures In Motion website. They allow moms to copy the
line art pages to use with more than one child in your family. They do not allow them being shared at coops, or between other families or school settings. They have
licenses for coops, church groups, and classrooms.<br />

<b> </b></p><p><b>How We Used This and Our Thoughts:</b><br />
</p><p>We received the Famous Figures of Ancient Times physical book from Figures In Motion. Figures In Motion was very generous as they also gave us a hole punch and brads in the correct size for the review. This particular book had 21 historical men and women (19 men and 2 women). Figures include Jesus, Moses, David, Julius Cesar, Alexander the Great, Aristotle, and more! We will be studying more on each figure as we read about them with our
ancient history lessons at home. The included book list will be a great teaching resource so that we can further our learning. We love learning about history
especially if it is hands-on. These books make history incredibly
interactive.</p><p> </p><p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb655QDLqQ4OO4lyWh3wMLxEcOkDhrcQpRF6MBwHo6VhGSLlRFHGOywWtpXnk0F_mnTHBBW3R56J6q_O6bePdKNZ1TRMPQPzoHOtO_Pv4qoE4qh5BXFVa936Gk_mwNQ2q8ZdWQmIg9lzQ/s2048/FamousFiguresofAncientTimesAssemble.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1821" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb655QDLqQ4OO4lyWh3wMLxEcOkDhrcQpRF6MBwHo6VhGSLlRFHGOywWtpXnk0F_mnTHBBW3R56J6q_O6bePdKNZ1TRMPQPzoHOtO_Pv4qoE4qh5BXFVa936Gk_mwNQ2q8ZdWQmIg9lzQ/w570-h640/FamousFiguresofAncientTimesAssemble.jpg" width="570" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Zari assembling Leizu.<br /></td></tr></tbody></table> </p><p>Zari looked through the Famous Figures of Ancient Times book to pick out a figure to articulate. She was very surprised to find there were only two women in the book. She picked Leizu, a Chinese empress, to learn about, cut out, and put together. We read the blurb about Leizu first. Then, Zari chose the full color version of her because she wasn't in a coloring mood. We pulled the page out with the perforated edge and she cut out all the pieces. Besides letters to match up we noticed that the back of each piece had either back or front on them so you could place them in the correct position on the articulated doll. I showed Zari how to line up the hole punch correctly and punch out the holes where the dots where located on the doll. She placed each body part on the doll correctly and lined up the holes to place the tiny brads. After she was finished putting the doll together she danced her around the table saying, "Oh no! A cocoon dropped into my tea!".</p><p> </p><p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDF3S0J4yi23xX5rTjvgoayCcal_HzmYpW5CEfNCUyjXxr1ML6heQOoB7zAkPpw_fl18eBmL8RgGNqSprpvUQegdqkiicyXLgXVytJD8IqsejaMhLX4WnjStWJmio-MVDQKOzU12T0rO8/s2048/FamousFiguresinAncientTimesLeizuArticulatedDoll.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDF3S0J4yi23xX5rTjvgoayCcal_HzmYpW5CEfNCUyjXxr1ML6heQOoB7zAkPpw_fl18eBmL8RgGNqSprpvUQegdqkiicyXLgXVytJD8IqsejaMhLX4WnjStWJmio-MVDQKOzU12T0rO8/w480-h640/FamousFiguresinAncientTimesLeizuArticulatedDoll.jpg" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Zari holding the articulated movable paper doll, Leizu.<br /></td></tr></tbody></table> </p><p>We highly recommend Figures In Motion Famous Figures of Ancient Times. These are great for kids to have a hands-on tactile experience learning history. Because they are moveable they are more fun than your standard paper doll and they are super easy to assemble. This is a great arts and craft to enjoy along with the learning. Kids can put on a puppet show to reenact historical events with these. They are great educational play and the imagination.

</p><p>I did this art instruction for kids with my daughters Zari and Teela who are in 4th and 7th grade this school year. We did one lesson a week and completed 4 lessons. We did what we could with what we had at home and I also bought some supplies as well. My kids love art so they enjoyed these activities and learning about the art and history very much.<br /></p>
<p>The lessons without videos have prep notes with tips and information about the type of art. It also has notes on how to instruct a larger group. Then there is the art history lesson on the next page with pictures of an art piece and questions at the end in bold. After the history lesson the book has a page of how to do the art. Each art lesson has a box of text that will list the materials needed for that art project, an example picture of the art made by a student, pictures of the art being assembled and instructions with more insight into the history. The lessons that have videos are truncated in the book and have a minimal amount of information to show you what art will be created and what materials are needed to make the art. These are used with the DVD or Blu-ray.</p><p> </p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQI4Kt5hPEA1E4nwlc20maUhaGhR-EZBsn9aK08Rv0UGTGFe5GOMSraEIyjQMw-xGgvIDRXiu7tC7nbtAtgSm-b0hDLD3Pa0BJhODitXQYpqaT5ev0fDkxO4VT1uAwZRa5WRgCfByLn-8/s2048/ARTisticPursuitsArtoftheNorthernCountriesOnlineCourses.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1398" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQI4Kt5hPEA1E4nwlc20maUhaGhR-EZBsn9aK08Rv0UGTGFe5GOMSraEIyjQMw-xGgvIDRXiu7tC7nbtAtgSm-b0hDLD3Pa0BJhODitXQYpqaT5ev0fDkxO4VT1uAwZRa5WRgCfByLn-8/w436-h640/ARTisticPursuitsArtoftheNorthernCountriesOnlineCourses.jpg" width="436" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">ARTistic Pursuits Inc.

This lesson was accompanied by a video (video #1) on the DVD or Blu-ray. This gave us very visual step-by-step instruction of the process. We liked the videos and thought they were very thorough, educational, and nicely done. The video had the art history and art instruction to show how to use the brayer roller and black water-soluble printing ink. Teela did this lesson and she did a butterfly as her stencil. She found plants in our yard to use as well. Hers didn't quite come out as crisp as the one shown in the video and book, but she at least got to understand monoprints and how they work.</p><p> </p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFlN_TDhpzpK1SU5Uwwl84Tw0yU8IcYPThzYSKkMYaI7QhHOBUAGFHkS27mjvsCnVZl68hCwnUmeE6RHojz-Rgqy4pG6d480W-Z1z2sbxvosaxEQ6-1uSIlYElJkBZm-heoCZYTofC-4o/s2048/ARTisticPursuitsGradesK-3ArtoftheNorthernCountriesLesson2.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1582" data-original-width="2048" height="494" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFlN_TDhpzpK1SU5Uwwl84Tw0yU8IcYPThzYSKkMYaI7QhHOBUAGFHkS27mjvsCnVZl68hCwnUmeE6RHojz-Rgqy4pG6d480W-Z1z2sbxvosaxEQ6-1uSIlYElJkBZm-heoCZYTofC-4o/w640-h494/ARTisticPursuitsGradesK-3ArtoftheNorthernCountriesLesson2.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">ARTistic Pursuits Inc.

We read in the art book how Durer was inspired by art that looked like the real world and how he choose to paint plants when others were painting people. There are questions at the end in bold of this art history lesson about the "The Large Piece of Turf" painting in the book to make sure the children are paying attention to the art. Then we are told with words and shown with color pictures in the book how to make a frame out of construction paper and draw plants with oil pastels.

<p>The forth lesson we learned more about relief prints. This lesson was accompanied by a video (video #2) on the DVD or Blu-ray. This gave us very visual step-by-step instruction of the process. In this lesson you make a white figure of a pet on a dark background. The video had the art and art instruction to show how to prepare the wax paper surface with the registration sheet, make a printing plate with foam printing sheets, and use the brayer. Zari decided she wanted to do our bunny, Norman, who had passed away. I helped make the printing plate. It asked us to use a picture of a light colored pet. We have a white horse, but Zari wanted to do Norman instead, so even though he was a black and white rabbit I think she did a good job as the correct areas of him were white and black.<br /></p>
<p>There was only one thing that I would change if I was the author. My daughters and I wished that all the lessons had videos because we are very visual and the videos made the instruction so much easier, but we would also have liked those that did have videos to have the whole instruction and art history lesson in the book as well. This would make it easier to use with those children that are too young to read and those that learn better by reading than by visual and audio as well would benefit if both were used for all lessons. This would help our learners of all types.<br />
</p>
<p>So far ARTistic Pursuits Art Instruction Books with DVD and Blu-Ray Art of the Northern Countries has been very educational and fun. We have learned so much about the art of the time. I highly recommend this art for children. ARTistic Pursuits Inc. Art Instruction Books with DVD and Blu-Ray Art of the Northern Countries would be a great art curriculum for use with art history lessons and unit studies of Renaissance, Realism, and Europe.<br />

The Accelerated Individualized Mastery (AIM) for Multiplication with a Bridge to Division Set has everything to teach older students who are
struggling with math, specifically with a <span style="font-weight: 400;">mastery of multiplication facts</span>. This<span style="font-weight: 400;"> instructor-guided intervention program </span>is generally targeting students age 10+. With the use of proven
methods and manipulatives from Math-U-See, AIM strives to give students
the confidence to learn better methods to succeed in multiplication and thus excel in more complex math continuing on in their
education. Accelerated Individualized Mastery (AIM) for Multiplication with a Bridge to Division has 10 lessons for multiplication learning and 2 lessons with a bridge to division.<b><br />
</b></p><ul><li><i><b>Accelerated</b></i> – The opportunity for students to move quickly through a skill set they have not yet mastered, without extra distractions.</li><li><i><b>Individualized</b></i>
– Each student is different, as are their learning preferences. Using
as many approaches as possible, the program creates an environment for a
student to master the skills they still need at their own pace.</li><li><i><b>Mastery</b></i>
– In this program, mastery means that a student can recall all the
math facts using as little mental energy as possible to remain engaged
in the process of problem solving.</li></ul><p><b> </b></p><p><b></b></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiimoag6OotMgnU6EHuPZ5qbsSzmSRv2ywalKY9UAZxGgZ9sN0owpzsB2rc_BPiaQExOjgn1_S0P6joIB3YB_Sp3GTGNgystYjJFWd4mq45ULY7xmhNhq1XaGLzZfo-7x9YilDYHnje_j0/s2048/AIMMultiplicationKit.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1508" data-original-width="2048" height="472" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiimoag6OotMgnU6EHuPZ5qbsSzmSRv2ywalKY9UAZxGgZ9sN0owpzsB2rc_BPiaQExOjgn1_S0P6joIB3YB_Sp3GTGNgystYjJFWd4mq45ULY7xmhNhq1XaGLzZfo-7x9YilDYHnje_j0/w640-h472/AIMMultiplicationKit.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Accelerated Individualized Mastery (AIM) for Multiplication with a Bridge to Division Kit</td></tr></tbody></table><b><br /> </b><p></p><p><b><b><b>Accelerated Individualized Mastery (AIM)</b> Contents:</b><br />

<b>How We Used This and Our Thoughts:</b><br />
<br />
I used this program with my daughter Zari, who is 11 years old. She takes a long time with solving multiplication facts. Zari and I are familiar with Math-U-See and how
the program works because we had used the Primer kit when Zari was in
preschool and the AIM for Addition and Subtraction last year. Now that she is in 4th grade I believe the Accelerated
Individualized Mastery (AIM) for Multiplication with a Bridge to Division will get her
back on the right track for math and help her become more positive in
her skills.<br />
<strike><br />
</strike>First Zari did the Before-AIM Assessment
so that we could see where she was with her multiplication facts. This assessment is an important step to evaluate your student's progress and mastery. There will also be a After-AIM Assessment that will show you if your student achieved the goals. In this assessment 81 multiplication facts are asked verbally to the student in a stress
free environment. Make a slash through the facts they answer correctly. Students being assessed can take a break after 1-2
minutes. You will then tally up the number of correct answers at the end.<br />
<br />
This is what I did before most lessons:<br />
</p><ul><li>Watch lesson video</li><li>Read lesson instructions</li><li>Study example problems</li><li>Gather lesson materials</li></ul>
<br />
These are the sessions of most lessons:<br />
<ul><li>Session A: Present Lesson Instruction </li><li>Session B: Demonstrate Understanding</li><li>Session C: Transition Math Facts to Visual Memory</li><li>Session D: Assess for Mastery </li></ul><p> </p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyBpZBrTcTMDdhwSQQS1w_0UYEZTf2uuB0iXUq7Lr-HexpTQjuU3R6fgchyIUD0o45mFbbuJL3y4L886zFGk8VgAZKekOu-cPLeKOvRRl7nuCSac5cctvtSpx_F7jlGS3EYsNdpuM44OE/s2048/AIMMultiplicationColorbyBlockNumberActivity.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1170" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyBpZBrTcTMDdhwSQQS1w_0UYEZTf2uuB0iXUq7Lr-HexpTQjuU3R6fgchyIUD0o45mFbbuJL3y4L886zFGk8VgAZKekOu-cPLeKOvRRl7nuCSac5cctvtSpx_F7jlGS3EYsNdpuM44OE/w366-h640/AIMMultiplicationColorbyBlockNumberActivity.jpg" width="366" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Color by Block Value Activity</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p>Lesson 1 was all about the integer blocks. This was review from last year. Zari loved the activities and resources parts of the instruction the
most. In Lesson 1 her favorite was the color by block value activity. I thought she did very well with the activity sheets too in
getting to learn the colors that went with each integer block.
After mastering them again we moved onto lesson 2.<strike><br />

This lesson only has a session A. This lesson was also review for her. She also reviewed about area of a rectangle. After this we went onto the
Digital Tool-Box and did the activity sheet that went along with the lesson. She did the Build, Write, Say method with the sheet. There are activities A-C on this sheet. Zari did
very well with this lesson and knew how to solve for the area of a rectangle, and so we moved onto
the next lesson.<br />
<strike><br />
</strike>I think that Zari is having fun doing these lessons and learning multiplication without taking so long. The
instruction of the Math-U-See Accelerated Individualized Mastery (AIM)
for Multiplication with a Bridge to Division is outstanding and well put together. I
highly recommend it if your student needs this to succeed in math.<br />

</p><p>A Most Clever Girl: How Jane Austen Discovered Her Voice by Jasmine Stirling is a wonderful book geared towards 4-12 year olds. It has lovely illustrations by Vesper Stamper that have a warm cottage feel. The story begins with Jane as a girl living with her family at Steventon in the Hampshire countryside, to her tragically quiet time in the small house in Bath, and then ends with her as an experienced woman back in the countryside again finding her voice once again, only wiser. This book will certainly be a delight to Jane Austen fans everywhere. </p><p> </p><p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGk6FpZokOzjEeSsgCJUxJCY5Jt2mMdWjEEoCxJHqUqQ34JXAcylE0r0Tqrpxo73B7GRWOU-mtRdWhndxti1WRWk-GundkHSaQKEP8zoqj_sP44QlUByQb9hUTr-ZMC4sExJdAfIiEwXQ/s1000/A+Most+Clever+Girl+Illustration+Janes+House.jpg"><img border="0" data-original-height="558" data-original-width="1000" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGk6FpZokOzjEeSsgCJUxJCY5Jt2mMdWjEEoCxJHqUqQ34JXAcylE0r0Tqrpxo73B7GRWOU-mtRdWhndxti1WRWk-GundkHSaQKEP8zoqj_sP44QlUByQb9hUTr-ZMC4sExJdAfIiEwXQ/w640-h358/A+Most+Clever+Girl+Illustration+Janes+House.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p>I love this book! It is eloquently written and illustrated. My girls who are 10 and 12 also found themselves consumed by the words and pictures. They were absolutely enthralled by the story of one of their beloved authors. I loved how her father was so supportive of Jane and her ambitions. Through all of the trials she had in her life, Jane grew into a talented, perceptive, and clever woman. Her experiences shaped her and made her better.</p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikul7eE54qWtR4gSjNnbPqS-7-mQZNdzpbMysd8bDCF5sW8s-gRDAXCDPpVXsyLkX36HdYiEi8JRuATFTUnuUEu0JgLBkEPy4MRo7x3fc8Lk8YFQeSFGfhvFMUL1M9I3GvwbeLnPn5wXk/s1000/A+Most+Clever+Girl+Illustration+Jane+Austen+Characters.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="558" data-original-width="1000" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikul7eE54qWtR4gSjNnbPqS-7-mQZNdzpbMysd8bDCF5sW8s-gRDAXCDPpVXsyLkX36HdYiEi8JRuATFTUnuUEu0JgLBkEPy4MRo7x3fc8Lk8YFQeSFGfhvFMUL1M9I3GvwbeLnPn5wXk/w640-h358/A+Most+Clever+Girl+Illustration+Jane+Austen+Characters.jpg" width="640" /></a></div></div><div><br /><div> </div><div>I highly recommend A Most Clever Girl: How Jane Austen Discovered Her Voice for all ages.

This is a Homeschool Review Crew Review. All opinions expressed are my own or those of my family.</p><p>While having an extended stay in a hospital a 6 year old boy named Byron was inspired by Mrs. Ellen Donovan, of the Family Life Center and the Olympic games that were going on at the time. To pass the time, he created his first board game, <i>Continent Race</i>. He wanted to help other kids avoid boredom during their hospital stays
and brush up with their geography skills. Now Byron's Games has 3 games: <i>Continent Race</i>, <i>Math Sprint</i>, and Maestro Mastery. They also have the <i>Connections stationery kit</i>, <i>Trailblazers Oasis Blanket</i>, <i>Trailblazers Travel Pillow for Kids</i>, <i>Kids Golf Set</i>, <i>The Family Journal</i>, and<b> </b><i>100 Kids Books<span></span> - Scratch-off Poster</i>, products. <br /></p><p>Maestro Mastery - Explore the Composers is a great game for learning about famous composers. Byron created this game to help kids learn 52 masters without monotonous memorization. There are 52 cards with music masters, from medieval musicians to more contemporary composers. Each card has names and depictions, country of origin, years lived, fun life facts, and music era (Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Contemporary.) This card game is for ages 5 and up, you can have 2+ players, and a game takes about 30 minutes.</p><p>You can enrich your child's musical learning with Byron's Games online listening tool and educational ebook that go hand-in-hand with this game. The online listening tool features your composers' compositions, providing to music to develop your player's ears. Since the memory cards don't have room for all the facts Byron's Games made a companion ebook called Maestro Mastery: Learn and Explore Great Composers where the lives of the 52 composers featured in the game are explored in more detail.</p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6tYxj4WOlwUM-Wl7CZ2zcY-vhVLrNvNQp_AXs-uUP1a5_l4EXcCdU9Hib3BWUS8I1xOUbDGZk9EUVUHboJTyMaJiHb9HfzoO4iVmTvTMNhcm0BDVJbbKRCWqHEvEwIJwb-UszNYa7_LI/s600/MaestroMasterybyByronsGamesIncludes.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6tYxj4WOlwUM-Wl7CZ2zcY-vhVLrNvNQp_AXs-uUP1a5_l4EXcCdU9Hib3BWUS8I1xOUbDGZk9EUVUHboJTyMaJiHb9HfzoO4iVmTvTMNhcm0BDVJbbKRCWqHEvEwIJwb-UszNYa7_LI/s16000/MaestroMasterybyByronsGamesIncludes.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><b>Game Contents:</b></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Instructions</li><li>104 matching composer cards (2 decks with 52 color - coded cards each)</li><li>1 music timeline card</li><li>1 poster to continue learning and hang on the wall<br /></li></ul><p><b>How to Play:</b></p><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>Start with one deck only (unless playing with a large group).<br /></li><li>Lay one deck (52 cards) face down in rows and columns.</li><li>Take turns going clockwise around the table, turning only 2 cards over at a time to find a matching pair.</li><li>State each composer's name and make sure all players see the cards, before flipping them back over. <br /></li><li>Once a match is made, the player reads the composer card aloud (Composer's name, years lived, country they are from, era of music, and the text description).

On this website you can hear a sample of each composer's work. You can make this fun by doing this during game play when a match is made or alternatively after the game has ended. <i>Extra Challenge:</i> After multiple games and gets more familiar with the music selections you may play a sample for the group to place in which era it is from. You can also lay 3-5 different composer cards, face up and have one person play a selection from one of them for the players to guess who it is by.<br /><div>

The first time we played we just did it with one deck and 3 players. A different day Teela and I played together with the other deck. Teela won both times as overall winner and the first time Zari won as the era winner and Teela won as era winner the second time. The third time we played we played it with the optional listening website. It was fun hearing the music of the composers, but some of the links wouldn't play because it said that the video was unavailable because it was private or that an error occurred. Hopefully they go back and fix those.</p><p> </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip9Uo5FL9s6PfgGc2-rr3eJwwSfNv__BVhFaM7dpyYLQLvL1MPW8AeDHSXJBKaDvVDmErls2lq-xoqc_vpx2N9kb3vM6kSPYrUn3Vis5nSZCLIAt3rKUPrS3Y3ItRx5nVR3qJrDTU_sQY/s2508/MaestroMasteryOptionalListening.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2508" data-original-width="1254" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip9Uo5FL9s6PfgGc2-rr3eJwwSfNv__BVhFaM7dpyYLQLvL1MPW8AeDHSXJBKaDvVDmErls2lq-xoqc_vpx2N9kb3vM6kSPYrUn3Vis5nSZCLIAt3rKUPrS3Y3ItRx5nVR3qJrDTU_sQY/w320-h640/MaestroMasteryOptionalListening.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Maestro Mastery optional listening.<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>All in all we liked Maestro Mastery - Explore the Composers.

This matching game is great for family game night and music education.<br /></p><p> </p><p><b><b>Follow Them on Social Media:</b><br /></b></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><b>

This is a lovely stitched brown faux leather bound bible. I love that this version has the thumb index and ribbon marker to easily find the scripture passage and bookmark your place. Other Bibles will try to change pages on you and this one doesn't because it stays flat when opened. The words of Christ are in red and the text is in a wonderful 10 point font that is easy on the eyes. There are so many study notes, references, translation notes, full-color maps and charts, archeological notes, personality profiles, and notes on Christian doctrines. There are topical indexes, a word concordance, introductions, outlines and pages that tell you how to use everything and help you find and understand things better.

<p>If you've been reading my blog for a while you know that I am a Brony, a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic that is outside the target demographic of little girls. Practically my whole family are into the animated TV series, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic or MLP FIM for short. We go to Seattle Washington almost every year to participate in Everfree Northwest, the MLP convention out there.

The medium fit was just right. This officially licensed My Little Pony sweatshirt comes in S-2X in junior sizes. I love that this sweatshirt is super soft inside. It is navy blue and has fair isle patterned snowflakes printed on the background. It pictures Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy pulling a sleigh with Pinkie Pie, Princess Twilight Sparkle and Rarity also printed on it. I love that the whole mane six is featured on the front of the shirt. The sweatshirt is made from 60% Cotton and 40% Polyester.

You can find it under the resources tab in the Holiday and Seasonal Content. We downloaded the <i>Finding Christ in Christmas Activities PDF</i>. It was basically a advent calendar for the month of December. Each day had an activity and a related scripture. All activities focused around Christ and his teachings about love for others. December 30th was <i>make a food pine cone for the birds</i> and we found out that we were doing this for both these lessons and a lesson in the "Let's Do Science Outside" that we were also going through this year. In the "Christmas Corner they also had Christmas themed videos for both kids and the rest of the family and other Christmas themed lessons that spanned subjects, for example: learning about the animals of the nativity, building a gingerbread house, copywork and lapbooking, learning about what Christmas was like in the renaissance, and learning to play Joy to the World on a violin, etc.</p><p> </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPmcpr_fF4Nx7KY0gc9MAiC5204CgMfz_FmtB6jpTiDWL-Y1a9PggnOVAPE3AzHa0KKD4LITAlNNSDtzRMWUMqiNNddg9tHUyj06QpDqKgNwugcaTIzUEJGoK5J5AjQjiR4Rib23ZWN04/s1162/SchoolhouseTeachersLetsDoScienceOutsideOverview.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1044" data-original-width="1162" height="576" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPmcpr_fF4Nx7KY0gc9MAiC5204CgMfz_FmtB6jpTiDWL-Y1a9PggnOVAPE3AzHa0KKD4LITAlNNSDtzRMWUMqiNNddg9tHUyj06QpDqKgNwugcaTIzUEJGoK5J5AjQjiR4Rib23ZWN04/w640-h576/SchoolhouseTeachersLetsDoScienceOutsideOverview.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">SchoolhouseTeachers Let's Do Science Outside Overview<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>We checked out the 4th grade science out because my daughter, Zari, loves science
and this would be age appropriate for her. We looked at all the
curriculum and settled on the "Let's Do Science Outside" lessons. We had previously done the "Let's Do Art Outside" lessons last year and thought this would be fun to do as well. The "Let's Do Science" has a
lesson plan and 20+ lessons that you can download and print
in PDF format. The Lesson Plan is a PDF and has the class length,
schedule, resources needed, instructions, lessons completed (you check
the box by each lesson as soon as they are finished), and a table with
date, lesson, materials required, and notes that you can fill in
yourself. Each activity has fun things to do with science outside. We love being outdoors in nature and doing
lessons outside is a big plus because it gets the wiggles out and lets
minds explore. I thought that overall the lessons all looked like fun
and so we picked one to do that my daughter was interested in doing.
She picked the one called "Natural Pine Cone Bird Feeder". Since it is winter birds need the extra food and fat that these give them. We had a lot of great pine cones from an evergreen tree that drop them in our backyard, so she went out and found a good one to use. We didn't have lard like it said in the recipe to use so instead we used peanut butter because that is a great alternative.
She had a lot of fun with this lesson and definitely will want to do more of the lessons when
it isn't as wet outside.</p><p><b> </b></p><p><b></b></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmU3WjifJG3ysQYNVfoVQJjKaGA8gG_v-hKw091wp1QT6V__wrMPGuU3mWHhChg3lxjwek88Yv91WpWxuUl_jZP1FZiLE8PGkHmgWKMdRFq5n0RSHQCqcLwhAb6RCZpMN5xHXDlZdJTe0/s2048/BirdseedPinecone.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1638" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmU3WjifJG3ysQYNVfoVQJjKaGA8gG_v-hKw091wp1QT6V__wrMPGuU3mWHhChg3lxjwek88Yv91WpWxuUl_jZP1FZiLE8PGkHmgWKMdRFq5n0RSHQCqcLwhAb6RCZpMN5xHXDlZdJTe0/w512-h640/BirdseedPinecone.jpg" width="512" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Zari Making the Natural Pine Cone Bird Seed Feeder.<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><b><br /> </b><p></p><p><b>Lessons of Let's Do Science Outside...</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span></p><ol style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-weight: normal;">Make Your Own Wormery</span></li><li>Making a Wormery Step-by-Step Instructions<span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span></li><li><span style="font-weight: normal;">What to Feed Worms in Your Wormery</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span></li><li><span style="font-weight: normal;">All About the Worms in Your Wormery</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span></li><li><span style="font-weight: normal;">Wormery Sequencing Sheets</span></li><li><span style="font-weight: normal;">Build a Boat</span> </li><li>Butterfly Life Cycle Windsock Craft</li><li><span style="font-weight: normal;">Carrot Family</span></li><li><span style="font-weight: normal;">Design Your Own Flower Activity</span></li><li><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Design Your Own Flower Activity - My Flower Design Sheet</span></span></li><li>Five Sense Scavenger Hunt<span style="font-weight: normal;"></span> </li><li>Flower Finder Mini Book</li><li>Hotel Fit for Some Bugs Activity</li><li>Hotel Fit for Some Bugs Activity Recording Sheet</li><li>Hotel Fit for Some Bugs Activity (Advanced)</li><li>Leaf Perimeter Problem</li><li>Make Your Own Butterfly Garden </li><li>Make Your Own Butterfly Garden Activity - Butterfly Checklist</li><li>Make Your Own Butterfly Garden Activity-Butterfly Shape Cut Outs</li><li>Make Your Own Worm Hotel Activity with Questions</li><li>Making Bubbles</li><li>Natural Pine Cone Bird Feeder</li><li>Nature Walk Bug Hunt</li><li>Nature Walk Observation Checklist</li><li>Nature Walk Plants and Flowers Hunt</li><li>Sycamore Seed Helicopter Activity</li><li>Sycamore Seed Helicopter Fantastic Flight Challenge </li><li>Tree ID Activity</li><li>Tree Tally Chart <br /></li></ol><p> </p><p><br />There is also a great video library that you get access to with the
membership of SchoolhouseTeachers. This has 450+ videos across
several academic areas, as well as kids’
entertainment, marriage and parenting, apologetics, Bible study, and
holidays. There are some videos in this library that are hosted on
RightNow Media. You will need to have an account with RightNow Media in
order to view these videos. These videos are noted by the orange banner
in the upper right hand corner of the image. The videos that are
strictly North American are noted by the red banner in the upper right
hand corner of the image. There are videos that are only included in the
Ultimate membership and these are noted by the blue banner in the upper
right hand corner of the image. Some of the videos in the library are
parts of the many classes on the SchoolhouseTeachers site. The video
page is a library with all the videos rounded up in one place so that
you can find them easily and all together. If you click on the images
then it goes directly to the lessons they go with or the streaming video
on their site. We absolutely love the Drive Thru History videos and
Violin and Guitar lesson videos.<br />
<br />
I love that with this membership you have the flexibility and ability to build a customized complete curriculum. You can <span class="uavc-list-desc ult-responsive" data-responsive-json-new="{"font-size":"desktop:14px;","line-height":"desktop:18px;"}" data-ultimate-target="#list-icon-wrap-5863 .uavc-list-desc">create a schedule for each of your children using their <a href="https://schoolhouseteachers.com/dap/a/?a=31611&p=schoolhouseteachers.com/member-resources/custom-schedule-builder/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Schedule Builder</a>.
You can choose a weekly schedule or a 9 week schedule. The scope and
sequence will help you build you schedule and know what needs to be
taught depending upon the grade or subject. You can build a whole
curriculum for your child or pick and choose courses to use as a
supplement to your child's education.</span><br />

are so many pockets on the SchoolhouseTeachers that I have not
even gotten a chance to see yet and they keep on adding more things. I
definitely haven't mentioned everything. I am going to love
exploring more and expanding both mine and my children's learning. I
know I can count on SchoolhouseTeachers to have wholesome Christian
based lessons which save me time, resources, and money.</span><strike>

This DIY soap making kit gets you started making your own soap and other products to use at home. I love the fact that each monthly recipe box comes with not just one, but four full size essential oils! Simply Earth has added so much love to each box they hand pack. If you are a new subscriber you will also get a free Big Bonus Box that will come with your first month. It has wonderful ingredients and bottles to use with your first recipe box. Plus you can have fun making all the natural recipes together with family and/or friends. My kids love to help out in the kitchen.<br /></p><p>The December Recipe Box is wonderful! My favorite of the essential oils from this box was the Bergamot EO because of its warm citrusy floral scent. These EO boxes have so much more to offer than just a single EO subscription that you would find other places. I love that this subscription comes with a whole kit to make your own soap, plus other things. If you watched the December Recipe Box reveal video it has one thing
that isn't in the kits: the dried orange slices. This is because Simply
Earth had trouble with the quality and didn't want to put something in
the kits that was subpar. Instead they have on their website <a href="https://blog.simplyearth.com/diy-dried-orange-slices-5-fun-ways-to-use-them/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">instructions to make your own dried orange slices</a>. </p><p>I can't wait to make the recipes from this box! One recipe in particular, the Winter Sunshine Diffuser Blend, is supposed to boost your spirits this winter and it just sounds heavenly. I definitely need some cheering up with all that has been going on in the world lately. What better way to keep my mind off of these things than to keep busy with Simply Earth's fun recipes.<br /></p><p>I love that Simply Earth has quality products at a fraction of the prices you would see from other companies. The Simply Earth subscription won't break your budget or empty your bank account and by subscribing you won't have to get pressured into sales at any EO parties. Also, 13% of profits from Simply Earth go to end human trafficking! This subscription would be a great gift for someone during the holidays!<br /></p><p><b><b><b><b>BUY IT</b></b></b></b></p><p>Purchase the next <a href="https://simplyearth.com/pages/essential-oil-recipe-box?rfsn=5296368.7400d3&offer=Special Offer: Free $40 e-giftcard when you subscribe!&coupon=FINAMOONFREE" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Essential Oil Recipe Box</a> and get the Big Bonus Box free with your first subscription!

I love the fact that each monthly recipe box comes with full size essential oils and they don't skimp on any of the fun extras. The Big Bonus Box comes with your first month and it has wonderful ingredients and bottles to use with your first recipe box. This DIY kit gets you started making your own products to use at home. Plus, it is fun to make natural recipes together with family and/or friends.<br /></p><p>I loved the November Recipe Box! My favorite of the essential oils from this box was the Love EO: which is a combination of Amyris, Bergamot, Sweet Orange, & Ylang Ylang. It smells so good and definitely would put me in a romantic mood. I love that this is no ordinary EO box as it doesn't just have one EO included and it also comes with so much more. One recipe in particular, the Energy Synergy Roll On, is supposed to rejuvenate you and who doesn't need that with this pandemic going on?!! All the recipes sound like a great deal of fun and I cannot wait to make them. </p><p>I love that Simply Earth has quality products at a fraction of the prices you would see from other companies. You can see all of the GC/MS reports on every batch of EO made. The Simply Earth subscription won't break your budget or empty your bank account and by subscribing you won't have to get pressured into sales at any EO parties. Also, 13% of profits from Simply Earth go to end human trafficking! <br /></p><p><b><b><b><b>BUY IT</b></b></b></b></p><p>Purchase the next <a href="https://simplyearth.com/pages/essential-oil-recipe-box?rfsn=5296368.7400d3&offer=Special%20Offer:%20Free%20$40%20e-giftcard%20when%20you%20subscribe!&coupon=FINAMOONFREE" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Essential Oil Recipe Box</a> and get the Big Bonus Box free with your first subscription!

<p><a href="https://advancingnativemissions.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Advancing Native Missions</a> is a Christian mission based organization that instead of sending out foreign missionaries that have little knowledge of the people or culture, they have native (local) missionaries to spread the gospel and minister. They are already accustomed to the physical climate, environment, and political situation. These missionaries live and minister on a fraction of the resources because their standard of living is comparable to those they serve. They also already know the language, people, and culture and can begin work with minimal training and preparation. They are more committed to working long-term because they already know and love the people; their own family, friends, and neighbors. These missionaries preach the Gospel, plant churches, care for children; found: schools, medical clinics, and Bible colleges to train others.<span class="s1"></span></p><p><span class="s1">ANM serves 345 native (local) mission ministries with over 10,425 missionaries, church planters, trainers, and workers working in 97 countries around the world. These missionaries are engaging 858 of these 7,000 unreached people groups and are reaching out to more all the time. Some of these countries that these native missionaries serve are closed to Western missionaries. This is the only way to get the message of The Lord out to them. <br /></span></p>
<p>Through the <a href="https://catalog.advancingnativemissions.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Advancing Native Missions Gift Catalog</a> you can help these native missionaries with gifts and donations to them and the people they serve so that they may live in better circumstances.

<p><b><b> </b></b></p><p><b><b>My Thoughts:</b></b></p><p>By reviewing the Advancing Native Missions Gift Catalog I was given the choice of three gift packages: Animals Gift Package, Children's Gift Package, or the Newborn Care Package that I could pick from for ANM to give on my family's behalf. I picked the Animals Gift Package which is a $116 value and I believed had the most benefit to a family. This package gives 2 goats so a family can have an economical supply of milk and meat and gives 12 chickens so a family can eat and sell its eggs. </p><p>Food and financial security is so important and so many in this world are starving, going hungry, and don't have any way to make ends meet. I know that I am fairly privileged to live in America where I am living fairly comfortably and free to be a Christian and share my beliefs. I am so grateful and thankful for this. My family is overjoyed to be able to share something so important and essential with our global brothers and sisters who are less fortunate. I hope this gift blesses a family for many years to come.</p><p> </p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIfC9jzo5HVgNGFdKlZgjOMMI0NrUtoYKWQmdoQ9e-iJDpS5hdZyfN1d9nkwBD-G6qCrzB5pK8XleRe7WvfdKjhm97UQ9bzAc2stfG-pMFmXWg63XUKdMfFb8uWa81kGiEccQbmys_2ag/s2048/ANMGiftCatalogLooking.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIfC9jzo5HVgNGFdKlZgjOMMI0NrUtoYKWQmdoQ9e-iJDpS5hdZyfN1d9nkwBD-G6qCrzB5pK8XleRe7WvfdKjhm97UQ9bzAc2stfG-pMFmXWg63XUKdMfFb8uWa81kGiEccQbmys_2ag/w640-h480/ANMGiftCatalogLooking.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">My daughters looking through the ANM Gift Catalog.<br /></td></tr></tbody></table> <p>Giving to this amazing fund is a wonderful and generous thing to do to celebrate the upcoming Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays with your family.
